Atheism is unreasonable

[TaraJo]

Have you ever heard of 'the God of the gaps?' Because this is the perfect example of it. "I don't know how life began, so God must have done it!"

I can play the same game, accusing some of you of playing "Science of the Gaps".

"Science can't explain it now, but it will some day explain it"

Plugging in your lack of knowledge with the future hopes of science being able to explain it.

I'm still siding with science, mostly because science has a better track record.

A few thousand years ago, theists would claim "I don't know what caused this my crops not to grow, so it must mean I upset god." Then scientists came along and learned about botany. Theists claimed "I don't know why I got sick so god must have been the one who made me sick." Then scientists came along and discovered germ theory. Theists were the ones who claimed lightning rods were blasphemy because god used lightning to destroy buildings that offended him. Scientists came along and learned about electron flow in the atmosphere.

So, yes, I think it's a pretty good bet to say that what we attribute to god today can probably be explained with science in the future. After all, ignorance of what happened doesn't justify mythology.
